Walking in the LightAmy Grant

Songwriter: Amy Grant

The sun woke me up real early, it's a beautiful morn
'Cause I'm going down to the river to be reborn
Now me and Jesus did some heavy talking last night
So I'm going down to be dipped and come up walking in the light

(La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.)

So I'm going down to the river real early this morn
Jesus said through Him we can be reborn

Oh the joy that's come inside me
Laughter fills my night and fills my day
With the song of love to guide me
And the happy words you send my way
Life with you has made me feel the miracle of making melody;
Just a simple wonder when you're walking in the light

(La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.)

Amy Grant

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
